[Verse]
The river spoke in a tongue I knew
It hummed and sighed as the daylight flew
I traced its words with a finger slow
Where it led me
I did not know
[Chorus]
Oh whispered roads
They carry me
Through shadows deep and skies that flee
A map of dreams in the winds they sow
Where they end
I’ll never know
[Verse 2]
The trees wore crowns of fading gold
Their secrets wrapped in roots that hold
I asked the breeze
Will you guide me too
It laughed and danced
Then away it blew
[Prechorus]
Every step feels lighter still
Every bend
A quiet thrill
[Chorus]
Oh whispered roads
They carry me
Through shadows deep and skies that flee
A map of dreams in the winds they sow
Where they end
I’ll never know
[Bridge]
A songbird perched
It sang my name
Its melody
Both wild and tame
It told me tales of lands afar
Where the night holds hands with a lonely star
